Thyroid Conditions

Steering you back to whole body health.

Think of your thyroid like your car’s gas pedal. Your body steps on the thyroid to regulate the rate of your metabolism by secreting the thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormones influence every organ, cell and tissue you have, so when your thyroid’s out of sync, a host of health issues often follow.

Our Vernon naturopathic doctors take the time to test and evaluate how and why your thyroid isn’t working properly so we can steer you back to whole body health.

How does the thyroid work?

Your thyroid sets your metabolism, energy, fluid distribution and temperature control. It makes proteins, impacts your sensitivity to other hormones and decides how quickly your body burns energy, Whenever the body is under a lot of stress—whether it’s mental, emotional, physiological, environmental or physical—the impact on the thyroid gland often leads to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism that can go undiagnosed despite a range of serious symptoms.

What are some symptoms and outcomes of thyroid conditions?

Cold intolerance

Constipation

Fatigue

Sluggishness

Weight gain

If left untreated, thyroid disease can lead to:

Decreased immune response

Heart disease

High cholesterol levels

Infertility

How do we test for and treat thyroid disease?

Our Vernon naturopathic doctors provide lab evaluation as well as thorough consultations about your symptoms, lifestyle and history so we can get to the root cause of your thyroid condition. From there, we offer a range of essential naturopathy tools including nutrition guidance, supplements, herbal medicine, hormone replacement and lifestyle counseling.

I will be forever indebted to my friend who recommended I see Dr Entner when I was dealing with stomach pains. The moment I sat down with Dr Entner I instantly knew that I had found "my" Naturopath. Under Dr Entner's guidance I now know what foods will trigger my stomach pains. Having said that - Dr Entner has helped me on a journey to overall greater health. I can honestly say that as I approach 40 I feel the healthiest I have ever felt. If I ever feel like I am falling off track she is there to help me get my feet back on the ground and gently encourage what our next step should be. Everyone should be so lucky to have a Dr Entner in his or her life. I am forever grateful that I have her in mine.
